Medicines for the only son

All people who meet little Nazar begin to like him at once. They say: “Such a good kid!” He should live and enjoy it. But with leukemia his life is hard: he has to stay in a hospital room chained to the droppers day and night, to endure pain, to fight fear… And also he has to face the situation of the lack essential medicines in the hospitals!

Simple hardworking parents are scared and desperate; they don’t know what they can do for their only child. Antibiotics that are not available at the hospital cost a lot of money. The family cannot get such an amount. If they don’t buy it infections may attack a weakened body. And it’s better not to think and not to write what may happen next…

Nazar’s mother is a nurse, that’s why she reacted quickly to sudden fever. However, she couldn’t imagine such a terrible diagnosis and still cannot accept it. She grasps reality because she needs to control her son’s condition: droppers and its modes, body temperature. Nazar behaves courageously. He tries always to do something because it is hard just to stay in bed. He is ready to fight and even supports his parents. His family members at home miss the boy very much. He fills their life with meaning and the space with light, warmth, sun and sincerity. His eyes are full of serenity that we often lack. His disease wants to take it all away? We will not allow it!
